| After defeating
the Darkstorm Nebula Empire the Axis continued its
policy of expansion and technical development. Two
pre-industrial races were encountered and exterminated,
the Axis placing their own populations on the planets.
Then the day came when an Elotoshani Space Exploration
Academy (SEA) survey flotilla encountered an Axis
flotilla. The commander on the spot, acting on his
authority, initiated first contact with the Elotoshani.
According to standard government orders, the commander
was obligated to capture as many ships as possible and
destroy the rest. Though not equipped with tractor
beams, the Axis ships did have their full marine
complements on board. The plan was to close the range
and then attack, sending the marines over in the
flotilla's small craft. Safe in the knowledge of his
race's natural superiority, the commander continued the
fiction of peaceful contact and had somehow made his
Elotoshani counterpart agree to a rendezvous with his
ships for a 'face to face' meeting. For being a space-minded academician the SEA commander was no fool. He had his crews at combat stations as a precaution, and repeatedly called on the Axis commander to hold his ships at four light seconds. Ignoring this, the Axis commander closed the range. At two light seconds he opened fired. Expecting nothing better than regular tractor beams, the Axis was surprised when their ships were seized by multiple capital tractor beams. Primary beams took out the weapons, followed by engines. For the loss of only four of their own the SEA flotilla captured two Axis ships, the rest having been destroyed or scuttled to prevent capture. The Axis Fleet Command (AFC), however, did receive several courier drones from their destroyed flotilla. The primary beam, a weapon that the AFC had assigned only to OWPs, was installed on the new Stalwart class heavy cruiser. A new missile-armed battlecruiser, the Hailfire class, was also designed, but most of the initial Hailfires were conversions of Hero class battlecruisers. All of the regular battleships, battlecruisers, and Sprinter class destroyers were refitted with an additional shearing plane. After eleven months the AFC won control of the system where first contact was made. Fully mobilized, the Axis went on to invade Elotoshani space. Using captured astrogation data, the most direct route to the Elotoshani home system was used by the AFC fleet. Four Elotoshani colony worlds along the way were bombarded from space, utterly destroyed in the process. The warp point assault on the home system was particularly intense, but the AFC fleet was intact. Having decided beforehand to bombard the system's second habitable planet, the AFC, after mopping up the warp point defenses, moved with all speed to their objective. The battle over the second planet produced another surprise. A huge group of small craft, piloted by volunteers, rose from the surface and performed kamikaze attacks on the AFC fleet. Combined with missile fire from the orbital forts and the few remaining ships the Axis forces were bled white. The bombardment was completed, but the surviving ships were not enough to take on the home world orbital defenses. The AFC had to wait a full two months before reinforcements allowed them to follow through and conquer the planet. Instead of exterminating the population, the Axis emplaced a scientific colony on the Elotoshani homeworld. As a result of the last-ditch kamikaze attack the Axis developed the anti-fighter small craft. For thirty years the Axis occupied the system before it was liberated by the CPS. Ever on the search for more habitable worlds, the Asteroid Axis resumed a sedate survey program after conquering the Elotoshani. Due to the surprise of Elotoshani kamikazes the Axis developed the anti-fighter small craft and a carrier to base them on. The wait to use them in combat came fifteen years later. An AI survey squadron of the extinct Nu'chut race encountered an Axis flotilla in an uninhabited system. This time the Axis commander was acting under far more restrictive orders. Gaining information on the new race took priority and the use of weapons was limited to self-defense. First contact and the establishment of communications was achieve. However, the Axis experienced a shock when it realized that they had been parleying with AIs all along instead of flesh and blood beings. After three months of talks the Axis made up its mind. The existence of self-aware, intelligent machines was not to be tolerated as it was an affront the Axis' sense of the 'natural order of the universe'. The war started when the Axis sent massive reinforcements to the system of contact and removed the AI presence. One AI ship was captured with an intact database. Along with some useful astrographic information the database had more information on the AIs, which only made the Axis more enraged. The war lasted 32 months. Axis fleets, initially armed with AFSC, blunted the fighter advantage of the AIs. What gave the Axis real trouble was the precision needle beam technology. Keeping the range open solved part of the problem. To make up for the decrease of beam damage due to range the National Reach class of missile dreadnoughts was built. Methodically, system after system was conquered. Using small neutron bombs and radioactively 'hot' ammo Axis ground troops cleared out the relatively small populations on the five AI worlds. Near the end the first Axis carriers and fighter squadrons saw action, giving that race a long range attack ability to match that of the AIs. The final battle was a fleet breaker for the AFC, but it was the end of the AIs. With five new worlds to settle, albeit with some damage, the Axis embarked on a short period of colonization and restructuring the fleet. The new carriers squadrons increased in number and steps were taken to defend the freshly-won gains. Confident of its new power, the Axis begun exploring again a year after the war ended. What it found would eventually spell the end of the Asteroid Axis. AFC notes The Axis started tech level 8 research after observing AI fighters in combat. The R&D was intense and expensive, but it did result in fighters and its required related technology. The only other system to see use in the war was an improvement to the advanced maneuvering system. After the war, the Axis fleet underwent a massive refit to incorporate new items such as capital force beams, het lasers, and improved datalink. A good deal of the naval budget went into building type-5 OWPs that incorporated the new weapons. The older type-4 OWPs were replaced and scrapped in a systematic manner, with ones at the boarders receiving top priority. The freighter fleet and naval auxiliaries were being upgraded as well, a process that was started before the war with the AIs. Newer dreadnought-sized ships were replacing the older battleship hulls. Only when the war against the CPS started was the replacement complete. Filled with a renewed sense of grandeur after defeating the Calculus of the Nu'Chut, the Axis resumed exploring. The first survey revealed a rather bland system. The second survey deposited the ships, via a closed warp point, into Dotz, a Hamthen system. The commander of the survey, Anjur, initiated first contact while at the same time sent courier drones back to inform the quick reaction force and AFC HQ. Talks went on for a month, long enough for both sides to bring in additional forces, just in case. In Anjur's case, however, all the talk served a purpose. With a force he felt was strong enough, Anjur spewed forth with a speech on the superiority of the Asteroid Axis. With arrogance that bordered on the insane, he demanded that his Hamthen counterpart turn over his databases or they would be taken by force. Getting his negative reply, Anjur commenced his attack on the Hamthen. The Axis commander made an error in his ship deployment. He kept his carriers in the main formation so that they could use their lasers in direct combat. When the Hamthen detected that those carriers had no active shear planes they used their tractor lock sensors on them and fired salvo after salvo of missiles. Axis fighters were launched but had no place to land now that their carriers were either destroyed or severely damaged. Losses were heavy on both sides, but Anjur had the worst of it. He retreated, leaving what few fighters were left (after tangling with Hamthen AFSCs) and his cripples to act as a rearguard. Instead of being called back home for an inquiry Anjur was made to stay at the front, becoming the second-in-command of the First Advanced Fleet. In the event the Axis had the initial advantage in fleet deployment. The managed to secure control of the Dolt system with some effort, and bombarded Dotz III into oblivion. Next in line was Evershem, but the vast majority of the settlement there was evacuated. It also marked the first major clash between the CPS and the Axis. A pyhrric victory, the CPS was unable to hold Evershem and had to fall back to Hamthen. After securing what remained of Evershem's population the Axis prepared to invade the home system. Bent on redeeming himself, Anjur volunteered to lead the warp point assault. It was a simultaneous transit, involving all the carriers, minesweepers, escorts, and small combatants (CA, CL, DD, and FG) of the fleet. Despite the loss of 15% of the ships, including six of the thirty carriers, Anjur seized the initiative and won the battle. After destroying the OWPs and the defending fleet the Axis had lost 40% of its number and 20% of the survivors had varying degrees of damage. The fleet then proceeded to take out the homeworld's space station, incurring further losses. Waiting a month, fresh reinforcements allowed Anjur to take on the orbital bases and sent in the invasion force. Ground combat lasted three months, and in the eighteen months of occupation 40% of the population, 1.4 billion, were systematically killed. Like they had done to the DNE, and were starting to do (albeit slowly) to the Elotoshani, the Axis intended to exterminate the population and have the planet to themselves. Unable to break into the next Hamthen system via the home world's second warp point, the AFC sent a large task group, now commanded by a rehabilitated Anjur, through the third one. Going down a series of systems that had only hostile environment colonies (only two were captured, the rest destroyed) the Axis encountered the Uan, a CPS ally. Finding the race to be worthy only of death, the Axis invaded and destroyed the Uan home system. Losses were heavy, especially among the fighter groups. Anjur was content to wait for the fleet train to arrive, resupplying and fixing his ships. Then the Quagaar Expeditionary Fleet show up. Literally arriving too late, and learning of the destruction of the Uan home planet, the Quagaar became frenzy as beserkers. Due to the number of corvettes and escorts involved the Axis fleet was outnumbered. Buoyed by the successes he had recently, Anjur decided to attack. He was wise enough to send his empty missile dreadnoughts and battlecruisers, along with most of the carriers and their escorts back toward the entry warp point. With his battleline and smaller warships he felt that he could take on the Quagaar and win. The 54 fighters he had left were tasked to take out as many corvettes and escorts as possible before falling back to the two remaining carriers for rearming. Here again Anjur made a mistake. Instead of trying to keep the range open, crippling as many small ships before they could close en-masse, he had his fleet close in at the top speed of his dreadnoughts. It never occurred to him that the Quagaar wanted to close the range so they could ram. He expected it of fighters, but not of corvettes and escorts. Had he survive, Anjur would've been court-martialed, but he and his command ship were destroyed in a massive ramming attack. All of the Axis dreadnoughts and battleships were rammed successfully, either being crippled or outright destroyed. Systematically all of the Axis ships were finished off by pursuing Quagaar ships and fighters. Only a few empty carriers and their escorts escaped, after being ravaged up to the end by the surviving Quagaar fighters, corvettes and escorts. That marked the furthest advance of the AFC. The systems between Uan and Hamthen were reconquered, and the two colonies liberated. The Axis, for all its warships and might, hadn't counted on the industrial muscle the CPS could muster. Additionally, the Axis made matters worse for itself by provoking a war with the Hokum Imperium. From there it was a cascade as system after system fell before the allies. More battles awaited, and only a very few could be called Axis victories. AFC Notes Unlike the last war, the AFC felt no initial need to rush its R&D community. What they felt was needed was more warships and carriers. Accelerated R&D happened when, in the Reclamation of Hamthen, the AFC encountered antimatter warheads, composite armor and datalink jamming. But it was too late in any event. The CPS secured the technical lead for the remainder of the war, while the Axis payed for it in costly R&D catch-up. After being pushed out of the Hamthen home system the AFC fell to the defenses built in the Dotz system. It was here that the Axis hoped to hold off the CPS while rebuilding forward strength and redress the technical disparity. Spending megacredits like it was going out of style, the Axis R&D community worked furiously for five months. Achieving TL 9, the projects that were crash developed were the first generation fighter, antimatter warheads, composite armor, improved multiplex, and the deadly effective datalink jammer. Due to budget considerations all other projects were given normal funding. It took time to develop new equipment, but the war kept to its own tempo. The Hokum Imperium, provoked into the war by an unsubtle Axis, charged its Imperium Space Navy to invade and conquer Axis territory. Fighting on two fronts was a drain to the AFC, but as each battle made the Axis retreat one system it also made the ISN and CPS stop to recoup its strength. In the fourth year of the war, and armed with an enlarged carrier fleet, the AFC won a double set of victories. Fueled with audacity the Axis even managed to recapture two systems, temporarily separating the CSF and ISN. That, however, marked the end of Axis strategic victories. The Axis had no more unexplored warp points to exploit, and by the third year of the war had assigned all of its destroyer-sized survey ships as fleet scouts. Ninety percent of the BC(Sry)s were employed as close escorts for the carriers. As for the ISN, it had no other warp points to survey except Axis ones. It was up to the CSF to get that rare chance that a survey would find a fresh route into Axis space. In the Inna system that chance became real. A Crajen survey task group, going through the remaining unexplored warp point in that system, emerged in a former Elotoshani system. Two days later the task group detected the presence of drive fields. Upon closer inspection it was revealed that the drive fields were Axis in origin. The task group commander closed on the ships, finding them to be a group of freighters escorted by destroyers. In a quick and decisive move the task group was able to capture no less than three freighters and a destroyer. The reason why this happened is that the ships were practically new and, since the ships originated in a system far from the front, had no marines on board for defense. The databases on those captured ships were intact. Upon inspection they revealed that two transits from the system of entry was the home system of the Elotoshani race. From the facts gathered in the databases and what had happened to the Hamthen and Uan the CPS acted quickly. The 3rd Field Fleet, originally intended to be sent to reinforce the 2nd FF, was quickly tasked to liberate the Elotoshani. The system of entry had its warp points mined and buoyed, backed up by a carrier task group. No Axis ships were there to contest the system, despite the fact that three months had passed, more than enough time to send ships for defense. The second system had only the ICN buoy chain. At the Elotoshani system the warp point defenses were light to what the CSF had faced in other Axis systems. Again this was due to the system's relative 'distance' from the front. Speeding towards the home planet, the commander of the 3rd FF hoped to liberate the main planet before the Axis occupation force did something stupid. In fact the Asteroid Axis had already done something stupid. Over the past two years the Axis started to cull the Elotoshani population, using the education scores of the Education Authority as its basis, eliminating the lowest scoring students. Two thousand people had 'disappeared' in the interim, but the underground Eloto resistance movement knew better. Only fractions of a percentage point separated the missing from the 'high scores'. Additionally, the lowest scoring Elotoshani was demonstrably smarter than the typical Axis citizen, a fact that infuriated the Axis for its truth as well as its dependence on the squat race for its research acumine. The resistance came to a conclusion that the Axis was engaged in a program of reducing the Elotoshani population. While doing so, the Axis was making sure that those Eloto that survive would be the brightest, allowing their scientific talent to be of continued use to the Axis. Thanks to an established spy network in the Axis occupation forces the Elotoshani learned of the arrival of the 3rd FF. Via a tapped com channel the resistance leadership was able to listen in as the Axis ground and orbital commanders argued over the best course of action. As for the resistance they knew what to do. Based on a time estimate, the resistance launched attacks and called upon the population to participate in a world-wide uprising. The six small groundbases the Axis had built found all their hard-wired datalinks destroyed as well as intense localized jamming, preventing them from datalinking to the orbital works. But it didn't end there, for at each groundbase resistance fighters had broken in (thanks to Eloto ingenuity and years of planning) and, with full knowledge it was suicide mission, entered the fighter hangers ready-rack areas and detonated antimatter fighter rockets. All the fighters had launched beforehand, but now with all six groundbases gone that just left the small fighter section of the space station to service 336 fighters instead of 48. Detecting the groundside antimatter detonations the commander of the 3rd FF ordered his fastest ships to move ahead and take out the 24 orbital bases and the space station. By the time the slower dreadnoughts and battleships arrived they found the missile-armed bases destroyed. The space station, the only unit left to the Axis that could still fire missiles, was using what launchers it had in a bombardment of the planet. No Axis fighters were left, but the remaining beam armed fortresses were focusing on destroying as many CSF fighters as possible as well as any CSF ship that dared to come close. With one final massed fighter strike, combined with the beam-armed small combatants, the big ships closed the range and destroyed the space stations and the remaining orbitals. Overall fleet losses was 15% with fighters at 65%. Elotoshani losses were 490 million, almost 10% of the population. The only good to come out of that horrific loss of life was that 95% of the Axis occupation troops, tied up in bringing down the uprising, were killed by their own nuclear warhead launched from the space station. Only twelve Axis troops, all officers, out of a force of 650,000 were left for interrogation after the Elotoshani and the 3rd FF made contact. The AFC wavered, diluting its strength to counter this new entry into its space. The reason why there were no ships in the system of entry was that the AFC hoped to continue the reconquest of its systems. Both the ISN and CSF counterattacked, bleeding the AFC and forcing it back. Even the 3rd FF, now with replacement ships and a secure corridor behind them, went ahead and plowed through systems that only had hastily reinforced minefield and buoy patterns. Axis ships, diverted and siphoned from the main front, were held back at a system that could possible hold against the 3rd FF. It was at the top of a three system warp chain. The third (bottom) system was that of the conquered Lauset (Dark Nebula Empire). Breaking in the top system, the 3rd FF took heavy damage from the defenses and the subsequent duel with the Axis 4th Fleet. Fortunately the 2nd FF, under the command of Admiral Tulcus Jki, had broken through and linked up with the 3rd FF. Using elements of the 2nd FF to reinforce the 3rd, Admiral Jki took the combined fleet down through the second system and then the third. Destroying the remnants of the 4th Fleet and the warp point OWPs, the CSF fleet headed in-system to take on the orbitals above Lauset. It was already too late. The Axis governor, determined to make the most of what he had, ordered the entire population to resist a CPS invasion. To that end, he had the remaining one million Lauset slaves killed so that they wouldn't be a hindrance to the defenders. With the orbitals gone and the groundbases denuded of fighters the CSF fleet orbited Lauset. Direct atmosphere observation and an admission from the Axis governor himself lead Admiral Jki to seek permission from Combined Allied HQ to bombard the planet. It took only ten days (mainly due to the length of the ICN), for the allied governments had pretty much decided on the Axis' fate. After what happened to the Hamthen, Uan, Elotoshani and finally the Lauset there was only one course of action. All Axis populations were to be eliminated. With a mix of disgust and resolution Jki had her ships obliterate the planetary surface with a nuclear and antimatter bombardment sufficient to wipe out the Axis presence for good. Thereafter all Axis populations, regardless of size, were obliterated. Previously captured frontier Axis colonies were wiped out as well. The Hokum Imperium had come to that decision independently. Their only invasion of an Axis planet was horrendous. In a five month period a total of 20% of the occupation force was either killed or wounded by a population that considered itself one enormous army. Best as they could, the ISN did a massive recovery of the troops, abandoning their heavy equipment in the process. In the most intense rear guard action every experienced by a space-borne army the Hokum lost a further 5% out of a force of 400,000 troops. A significant portion of the Axis population were killed in the final stages of the pullout as ground commanders call for tac nuke strikes to create a hellish barrier between them and the ultra-hostile population. A follow-up bombardment devastated all the cities. In a week the planet was radioactively hot over all of its usable surface. What Axis population that did survive would die within days. The half-life of the fallout was such that any underground population would run out of food or turn on itself in madness. The ISN repeated the process on two much smaller colony worlds before linking up with the CSF. Even with the loss of two major and several medium and small systems the Axis still felt that it had a chance to win. With an overpowering belief of their own superiority the AFC took a gamble. It was reasoned that a large fleet action, properly handled, would crippled the combined fleets of the enemies of the Axis and allow a new offensive. Some in the AFC believed that the same could be achieved in a warp point battle. But the First Leader would not hear of it. He wanted it to be shown that the Axis would not be pushed back anymore. The huge assemblage of ships, both new and old, was called the 1st Fleet, in honor of the fleet that had defeated the DNE years earlier. In a system that the CPS had to go through the 1st Fleet waited, at standby power, behind the planet closest to the CSF entry point. The combined 2nd and 3rd Field Fleets and the Hokum Home Fleet encountered the Axis fleet just as the First Leader wanted. With 24 SDs, 36 DNs, 30 BBs, 30 carriers, and 48 BCs plus lesser ships the Axis felt confident of victory. It soon turned to concern as the combined allied fleet had no less than 60 DNs, 60 BBs, 52 carriers (including 12 of the new Yoshibo class CVBs), and 72 BCs (not to mention smaller warships). It didn't end there, for one-third of the CSF ships had their TL 10 refits and one-half of the fighters were 2nd generation. The battle was fit for epic opera, ending in victory for the CSF but not without substantial losses. Among the casualties was King Russen, commander of the Valhallan contingent, killed as his flagship inflicted a death-dealing blow on his Axis counterpart while receiving one in turn. One-third of the fleet was destroyed with another third damaged. But the CSF still had a fleet while the Axis practically had none. The allies kept moving forward, bashing aside what defenses the Axis managed to put up along the way. Planet after planet was reduced to so much radioactive waste, leaving just one - the Axis homeworld itself. In the six months after the climatic battle the Axis didn't send any ships out to counter the allied advance. Instead it gathered what strength in the time left to it and waited. The attack came in the form of 60 minesweeping vessels (including Endril and Quagaar cruisers) and 20 carriers making a simultaneous transit. Eleven ships, eight minesweepers and three carriers, interpenetrated and exploded. A lane through the mines was started on by the sweepers while the fighters took on the beam armed forts and fighters as they appeared. Missile ships made transit in the normal manner to take on the more distant missile forts. Endril Hellstone CAs closed the range on the AFC forts and devistated them with antimatter ordnance. The mediocre remains of the once mighty Axis fleet, stationed 12 light-seconds from the warp point, awoke from its near-comatose state and closed on the warp point. The fleet was composed of 12 SDs, 12 DN(R)s, 15 CVs, 6 BC(R)s, 3 CAs, 3 CA(E)s, 6 DDs and 3 FG(E)s. As it closed, more allied ships continued to enter, including carriers, adding fighters to maintain the pressure. Other than the fighters, the Axis ships added little to the battle. CSF fighter superiority ensured that at least one-third could be dedicated to anti-shipping strikes. Axis missile ships were the targets, as the smaller ships could be easily dealt with the lighter units. In an hour it was over. For an additional loss of four DN(R)s, three BC(R)s, 23 minesweepers, 14 cruisers, 2 carriers and 314 fighters the CSF won. The Axis carriers and their CA(E)s were run down by fighters and destroyers. With those ships gone all that remained was the homeworld itself. Recon fighters reported back on the strength of the planet's defenses - 47 BS5s, 3 asteroid forts, one space station and six ground bases. Admiral Jki and her staff considered their options. In the end Jki decided on closing within 16 light-seconds of the planet Comensal, deploy half of the SBMHAWKs in her inventory, and then proceed to attack. This marked the first use of SBM pods and missiles by the CSF. With the fierce resistance put up previously by the Axis it was clear that the homeworld would be the most heavily defended objective faced by the CSF. By withholding the existence of the pods and missiles until now the element of surprize would be kept. First Leader Grandous and his staff were perplexed when the allied fleet stopped just short of verifiable scanner range from the orbitals. Grandous' advisers practically begged him to deploy the fighters, but he refused, waiting until the enemy fleet entered capital missile range. The combination of 1644 fighters back by capital missiles would crush allied missile ships in the first few minutes. If they were so foolish as to advance, then the beam armed forts would add to the carnage. Then the CSF fleet advanced, deploying what appeared to be their entire fighter strength. When the formation closed to 10 light seconds Grandous felt his blood cool. 1224 fighters in conjunction with what appeared to be 2100 assault shuttles were approaching, their fleet following close behind. Holding back panic, as well as his fighters, Grandous waited until a more definite scanner results were available. At just above 7 light second range the fighters were determined to be all 2nd generation, but the 'assault shuttles' looked far different from any kind of shuttle seen before. Only then did Grandous ordered his fighters to launch. He also had all pinnaces and assault shuttles to take off and assist the fighters. The 2100 pods were ordered to fire once they reached 3.75 light seconds from of the orbital works. As it happened, both the pods and the fighters escorting them and the Axis fighters arrived at the same area of space at the same time. While the most massive dogfight of the entire war occurred the pods were attacked by the Axis small craft. Grandous and his staff still believed they were some form of assault shuttle. The pinnaces and assault shuttles managed only to shoot down 45 of the supposed shuttles. Then the 'shuttles' fired. 750 pods were targeted on the space station. The three asteroid forts each got 250 while six BS5s faced 100 apiece. Those structures went up like firecrackers doused in gasoline, unable to withstand so much antimatter ordnance targeted on them. Large as it was, the space station could have conceivably survived the first volley except for the fact that its magazines weren't incorporated deep in its structure. It was a magazine that serviced the gun/missile launchers, and it was filled with antimatter warheads. As debris from the station fell planetside the CSF fleet moved to within five light seconds of the planet, firing their missiles into the 41 remaining orbital bases. Admiral Jki had her freighters, left at the 16 light second position along with the carriers, deploy the remaining 2100 pods. Ravaged as they were, the 347 remaining Axis fighters lunged at the allied fleet. The small craft followed, intent on shooting down as many allied fighters as possible before ramming the ships. The surviving 412 allied fighters kept blasting all along until the battleline opened up with AFHAWK missiles, another new weapon to plunge into the gut of the Axis. Only three dreadnoughts were destroyed along with two crippled, but the Axis no longer had any mobile firepower left to them. The Axis missile bases took out two more dreadnoughts before the second wave of pods arrived. 35 more bases were eradicated. Six remained, all beam armed. Keeping up the bombardment, the surviving 307 fighters rearmed with fighter rockets and took out the last of the bases. Then the fleet advanced, with minesweepers in the vanguard. After twelve minutes of work a lane was blown through the one light second diameter minefield around the planet. Once in orbit the fleet began its bombardment. The now useless groundbases were the first to go, and when they did their stockpile of antimatter fighter rockets added to the growing planetary firestorm. After twenty minutes the final barrage came in the form of shuttles, stuffed with bombs filled with radioactive dust. The polar caps and huge swath of oceans were laced with deadly grit, making the planet useless to any and all forms of life. Five days later all the hostile environment settlements, colonies, and outposts in the Comensal system were destroyed. The Comensal race sought mastery over the galaxy but ended only to master its own demise. AFC Notes Exposure to new Allied technology caused something akin to panic in the various boards in the AFC. While it was clear that copying the observed systems was the first priority it was how to best utilize them in the fleet mix that needed to be addressed. After much arguing and debate, which surprisingly didn't involve the First Leader for a change, it was agreed that a few new ships classes was required. Dedicated anti-fighter battlecruiser and light cruiser designs, both for fleet and convoy defense, were selected as well as a pair of capital missile-armed cruisers to complement the Hailfires in 'fast wing' detachments. The early completion of the spinal force beam project could be argued to have caused the war to be shorten by one year. The sight of Allied SD-sized minesweepers pulled the strings of jealousy in the AFC as well as those of the First Leader. He ordered the construction of a new ship that would incorporate the Fs as well as intimidate the enemy. As it was, the Righteous class had indifferent performance in combat due to its mix of weapon systems. Built at a rate of one hull for every two Prestige DNs the class drained a significant amount of income, reducing the overall number of ships due to the longer building time and subsequent tying up of construction slips. Had they gone with the First Leader class at the beginning the AFC would've gained a more combat effective class that would've change the outcome of some battles to their benefit. Also, had the construction of SDs been curtailed or cut altogether then more carriers could've been available both for defensive as well as offensive use. Armed pinnaces also caused a form of over reaction. While the AFC saw a certain flexibility in using armed pinnaces they also went the extra step and produced the escort shuttle. Aside from their endurance and reach of improved point defense escort shuttles only served to drain resources away from producing fighters, which were more useful in defending convoys in the long run. Planet-based escorts shuttles were used in the late war period in suicide attack groups, ramming Allied ships and inflicting fighter losses at the same time. In direct response to being thrown on the defensive the AFC authorized a point defense refit in the mid-war period. This took the form of installing improved point defense on fleet units. Further on the capital units sacrificed their shearing planes for an additional capital point defense system. It was later remarked that had this shipboard space been devoted to adding another large shuttle bay then each capital unit could've carried two escort shuttles each. With each capital unit so equipped the number of shuttles in a task force, not to mention a fleet, would've been significant. Another reflection of the increasing Axis dread of Allied fighter strength was the refitting of targeting scanners on their auxiliaries. So equipped these ships could then use their force beams against fighters and armed pinnaces. It was a worthwhile effort for those convoys that found themselves on the receiving end of an Allied system sweep. |

In the allocation of research money the Fs project received standard funding while more immediate, critical projects got more attention. Even so the R&D team, working for a solid five months, came through with the weapon in record time. Construction of the first twenty-four Righteous SDs went in stages until composite armor, improved multiplex and improved point defense became available. After the fall of the Gymnasium system no further Righteous SDs were built. In the late war period they were refitted to the First Leader design. |

For 33% increase in price over that of a Firebow an additional launcher was gained, and even the fanatical Axis saw the economic realities. For every two squadrons of Firebows built just one composed of Firestorms followed. Being based on a CV hull did have one advantage, for an enemy wouldn't know if it was a carrier or a warship until it launched fighters or fired a broadside of weapons. |

The former argued that for every Raptor built meant one less 'proper' assault carrier for the fleet while the latter lobbied for the escort shuttle to be used in warp assaults. It took the intervention of the First Leader to reach a consensus. An initial batch of six was built, with the provision to build more if the design proved itself in combat. Raptors had an advantage of a datalink jammer, something that the other three classes didn't initially have, and the option to carry armed pinnaces in lieu of escort shuttles. |

This was the result, a carrier with almost the same armor and internal protection for the hanger bays as an unrefitted Soar. It was planned that a standard assault wave would be composed of a Falcon Crest, followed by four Soars, and another Falcon Crest. First used in the assault of the Uan home system, the Falcon Crest class performed successfully. Afterwards, when the Axis was on the retreat, the class saw service in the regular fleets at the rate of one Falcon Crest for every two Eagle Crests. |

It was also the most extreme example of Axis overreaction to the Allied counteroffensive that liberated Hamthen. Specifically, it was the armed pinnace attack that destroyed fleeing AFC transports from Hamthem Prime that made convoy commanders anxious. To that end the Pioneer Wagon class had considerable small craft carrying capacity. Rationalized that such capacity was meant for carrying replacements for pinnace tenders and bases the real unspoken reason was to provide a convoy with as much organic protection as possible. Unique among auxiliaries of all the races in this era the Pioneer Wagon had a combat information center, giving a convoy commander more decisive control over his forces. |

Not willing to spend the money or tie-up full-sized construction slips to build a proper FT7 freighter or increase production of FT4s the AFC settled on a frigate-sized vessel that could be built in medium shipyards. What made the Ration Box class worthwhile in the AFC's eyes was that its strategic speed was one-third faster than the bulk FT9 and CA(FT) classes. |

The Pallet was the cargo ship version of the Grenadier class corvette. Overall both Pallets and Ration Boxes were not efficient when compared to larger freighters in terms of upkeep due to the size of their holds. No further Pallets were built after the start of Operation Restoration. The Di refit was a effort to increase a Pallet's protection from fighters and pinnaces. Typically a pair of Pallets would include a Flak Defense (FLD) so that some datalink point defense was available against Allied stand-off fighter missiles. |

Originally there were supposed to be only 24 BS5s for planetary defense, but the First Leader ordered these forts constructed as well. The huge fighter capacity greatly increased the number available for defense, but also allowed for massive demonstrations for the yearly space review. When the war against the CPS made a turn for the worse the First Leader quietly ordered the number of BS5s both for warp point and planetary defense increased. The three forts were also upgraded with the new spinal force beams, composite armor and datalink jammer as they became available. The shipyard was included so the fort could conduct self-repair and retrofitting without tying down mobile shipyards. In the final year of the war the forts were refitted as depicted. |

The second major refit came at TL 8 with the installation of fighter bays as well as new weapons such as capital force beams. During the war with the CPS the station was upgraded and expanded with new technologies as they became available. In the final year of the war the station was refitted as depicted.

Another example of Comensal hubris, the Hagelkorn class was conceived as a supplement to the Greater Homeland transports. While 86% as expensive to build Hagelkorns had less than half the upkeep and carried 62% more troops. The name was chosen for the eventual successful 'conquest' of the Hamthen Hagelkorn system. The Hamthen homeworld was not to be invaded and conquered again but bombarded into rubble. As it turned out the Comensal failed to achieve their stated goal, and the two Hagelkorns built were destroyed. |

To that end the AFC authorized the construction of a purpose-built class for use in simultanious transit attacks. Since it was meant to take out bases within plasma gun range of warp points high speed wasn't needed, so the Grenadier class had commerical engines, a feature that significantly reduced cost. ECM was installed not so much for defense against enemy bases and ships (the ship had to actually move to get the most use out of the system) but against fighters, since Grenadiers would stay on the warp point until ordered otherwise. The class first saw use in the assault against the Uan home system. After losing Hamthen to the Allies the AFC used Grenadiers in spoiling attacks before switching over to the Grenadier 2 class. |

The AFC made use of small ships with which to absorb buoy fire far more often than the Allies. This class, built in large numbers, was used to 'plow the road', depleting minefield patches through sheer numbers. Less than 600 were built following the introduction of the CM2 class. |

With their high cruising and top speeds no Fleet Trackers were lost in combat until encountering the armed pinnace, first generation fighters, and laser warhead-armed SBMs in the war against the Allies. Production of Fleet Trackers stopped just after the Axis offensive called Operation Restoration started. First generation fighters proved the greatest deterrent to Fleet Trackers, even when paired up with two Dz-equipped units. Many scouts were destroyed before they could enter definitive scanner range of Allied ships. Often the only way to get a good read on Allied fleets was to place multiple sensor buoys along their expected courses. The Joker version, sometimes called the Wildcard class, (both are Allied terms, for the Axis simply referred to it as the Jammer sub-variant) found use in distruping Allied fighter squadrons sent to destroy Fleet Tracker divisions and in providing jammer support in small convoys. |
